Lots of things happening now in video --- Virtual Reality, 360 Degree video, Augmented Reality, and 3D, which can be in cheaper ways these days as compared to 20 years ago. Almost everyone with the proper equipment these days can do such with ease, and tools are getting cheaper and cheaper that even your mobile phone camera can do at least one of these, I think.

And now, you can do 3D video without investing in two cameras that you rig together to come up with the 3D effect to impress your mates. All you need is to get the Vitrima 3D GoPro Lens which does not need two GoPro action cams, you just need one.

How does it work? Vitrima with its mirrors will create two different images for the left and right eyes which, when combined together will give you the 3D effect.  But in order to view the 3D footage, you will need a VR headset and of course a smartphone with a good HD resolution that can be dropped into the VR headset to view the footage. For those who are using VR headsets such as the Google Cardboard, they can view the 3D video, and these headsets can range from very cheap to very expensive.

If you look at it, the Vitrima looks like a bigger version of the waterproof case for the GoPro Hero, and I can’t agree more. But the good thing is that it just made making 3D videos, including that airsoft milsim event that you’re going to, more affordable as it costs US$79.00 or if you want it with their own VR headset/viewer, you can pay a total of US$110.00 if you are going for the early bird rate.

Now, if you are interested in getting one, you will have to have faith on the project owners as this is on Indiegogo trying to raise funding for production. It has actually reached it funding goal of US$20,000 and has already more than double the amount in pledges.

If it meets its projected schedule of releases, the first batch will be delivered to the initial backers in July with mass product that most probably for the rest of interested customers in September.

It may look a bit weird on you wearing something on your helmet a GoPro action camera with a bigger housing, but then if it produces a cool 3D video to make your airsoft fans happy on YouTube, it might be worth the small investment.
